We ( Grant's ) moved here in 1976 when the barn in back of house was gone. Through the years the main house has been emptied ( still standing ) and a new home and garage replaced the two outbuildings . The tree in front of the house also still stands making it almost 100 years old. The surrounding fields are used by a local dairy farmer which in turn keeps them open and tree lines somewhat controlled. The apple trees are now standing in a mowed lawn area as that has replaced the gardens in front of car. The tree line in front of house has grown to the point that it almost hides the house from view and the brook running under driveway has also grown in width making necessary a new LARGER culvert for the flow.What is not visible is this house sits on the top of an incline at the end of the road making the surrounding view beautiful at times . Very quiet and private.

remember ohh so well

99 McCaslin Road, China, ME. As Judith mentioned above, the tree line by the roadside makes it difficult to see this home, and she has given a better description than I can.
